DESCRIPTION

This optional file controls the color to be associated to the context components associated to the raw context passed by selinux_raw_context_to_color(3), when context related information is to be displayed in color by an SELinux-aware application.

selinux_raw_context_to_color(3) obtains this color information from the active policy secolor.conf file as returned by selinux_colors_path(3).

FILE FORMAT

The file format is as follows:

color color_name = #color_mask
[...]

context_component string = fg_color_name bg_color_name
[...]

Where:
color

The color keyword. Each color entry is on a new line.

color_name

A single word name for the color (e.g. red).

color_mask

A color mask starting with a hash (#) that describes the hexadecimal RGB colors with black being #000000 and white being #ffffff.

context_component

The context component name that must be one of the following:

user, role, type or range

Each context_component string ... entry is on a new line.

string

This is the context_component string that will be matched with the raw context component passed by selinux_raw_context_to_color(3).
A wildcard '*' may be used to match any undefined string for the user, role and type context_component entries only.

fg_color_name

The color_name string that will be used as the foreground color. A color_mask may also be used.

bg_color_name
